ISTS panel "Privacy Implications for the Internet of Things" (SPLICE)
AdvertisementWe recently had a great conversation with cybersecurity experts to discuss the most pressing security and privacy challenges related to the “Internet of Things” (IOT) devices, such as smart phones, smart watches, smart kitchen appliances and more. If you want to learn about whether your TV is spying on you, the role of IoT devices in surveillance, or even the more technical aspects of federated learning vs the “Hoover” approach with respect to IoT devices, check out the recording of the event here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XXmFZD0i1U&feature=youtu.be
Thank you to our awesome panelists and moderator and the 40+ virtual attendees who submitted thought provoking and important questions! Follow the page to stay updated on upcoming panels and events related to cybersecurity, AI, IoT and more related!

Moderator: Professor David Kotz
Professor David Kotz named ACM Fellow and recently featured in a Dartmouth video
Professor David Kotz was named one of 95 new ACM Fellows by The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and his citation reads: “For contributions to the security, privacy, and usability of mobile systems.” This is a very prestigious honor and the ACM fellows are recognized to “have driven innovations that ushered in significant improvements across many areas of technology, industry, and personal life.”
Recently, Professor Kotz '86 was featured in a Dartmouth video where he talks about the privacy risks of smart home technology. With the growing use of smart home speakers, smart security cameras, smart water leak sensors, and other smart devices, there are also privacy risks to consider.
Congratulations from ISTS!
